How to watch the 2026 Super Bowl: Patriots vs. Seahawks channel, where to stream, start time, and more

The countdown is on, and Super Bowl LX, between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, is less than a week away. This year’s game will be held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA, and the Bay Area will be host to loads of other football events this week, too, including Thursday’s NFL Honors, where we’ll learn who this season’s MVP is. (That event, which will be held in San Francisco, will air live on NBC and the NFL Network on Thursday at 9 p.m. ET.) While we’re curious to see who will snag the most prestigious awards at the NFL Honors, we’re more excited for the championship game itself, which airs on Sunday, Feb. 8, with a 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff, and there will be pre-game coverage airing from 12 p.m. ET on.

Like all other Sunday Night Football games this season, the championship game will be broadcast on NBC, and will stream live on Peacock. Here’s everything you need to know to tune in to Super Bowl LX on February 8, including the game channel, where to stream, and who’s performing at halftime.

How to watch the 2026 Super Bowl without cable

You can stream NBC and Telemundo on platforms like DirecTV and Hulu + Live TV, both of which are among Engadget’s choices for best streaming services for live TV. (Note that Fubo and NBC are currently in the midst of a contract dispute and NBC channels are not available on the platform.) The game will also be streaming on Peacock and on NFL+, though with an NFL+ subscription, you’re limited to watching the game on mobile devices.

For $11/month, an ad-supported Peacock subscription lets you stream live sports and events airing on NBC, including the 2026 Super Bowl, Winter Olympics coverage, and more. Plus, you’ll get access to thousands of hours of shows and movies, including beloved sitcoms such as Parks and Recreation and The Office, every Bravo show and much more.

For $17 monthly you can upgrade to an ad-free subscription which includes live access to your local NBC affiliate (not just during designated sports and events) and the ability to download select titles to watch offline.

In addition to hosting NBC’s Super Bowl broadcast, DirecTV’s Entertainment tier gets you access to loads of channels where you can tune in to college and pro sports throughout the year, including ESPN, TNT, ACC Network, Big Ten Network, CBS Sports Network, and, depending on where you live, local affiliates for ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC.

Whichever package you choose, you’ll get unlimited Cloud DVR storage and access to ESPN Unlimited.

DirecTV’s Entertainment tier package is $89.99/month. But you can currently try all this out for free for 5 days. If you’re interested in trying out a live-TV streaming service for football, but aren’t ready to commit, we recommend starting with DirecTV.

Who is performing at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show?

Bad Bunny, who holds the title as the most-streamed artist in the world, will be headlining the 2026 Super Bowl halftime performance. You can expect that show to begin after the second quarter, likely between 8-8:30 p.m. ET. Singer Charlie Puth will also be at the game to perform the National Anthem, Brandi Carlile is scheduled to sing “America The Beautiful,” and Coco Jones will perform “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
